2. Wireless Network Configuration

For a wireless connection, the SSID (also known as the wireless network name) and the wire less security settings need to be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.

The router is preconfigured with WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode and uses a unique SSID and passphrase. This information is printed on the label on the bottom of the router. Use this information to setup your WiFi computer and devices.

This chapter incudes the following sections:

• Plan Your Wireless Network

• Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings

• Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network

• SIM Card PIN Code

• SIM Card Modem Unlock Code

Note: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred

feet. If you do not use wireless security , this can allow others out side your immediate area to access your network.

Mobile V oice HSP A+ Broadband 11n W ireless Router MVBR1210C

Plan Your Wireless Network

For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region need to be set correctly.

To configure the wireless network, you can eithe use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security.

Wireless Security Options

Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow others outside your immediate area to access your network.

Unlike wired network data, your wireless data tr

ansmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router provides highly effective security features, which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.

Each router is preconfigured for WP A-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode and comes with

a unique

SSID and passphrase. There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:

Figure 3. Wireless security

• Restrict access based on MAC address. You can allow only trusted computers to

connect so that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect to the router. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.

• Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If

you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network “discovery” feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed.

If you set up your network with WPS, and now you want to add a computer that does not support WPS, you need to manually configure that computer. For information about how to view the wireless settings for the router, see Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on page 27.

Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to

USB Drive Requirements

The router works with 1.0 and 1.1 (USB full speed) and 2.0 (USB high speed) st andards. The approximate USB bus speeds are shown in the following table.

Bus Data rate

USB 1.1 12 Mbits USB 2.0 480 Mbits

Actual bus speeds can vary, depending on the CPU speed, memory, speed of the network, and other variables. The router should work with USB 2.0-compliant or 1.1-compliant external flash and hard drives. For the most up-to-date list of USB drives supported by the router, go to http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12345.

When selecting a USB device, bear in mind the following:

WARNING:

Set Up a Default DMZ Server

For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.

The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.

Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally d

iscarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.

DHCP Settings

By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses is assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.

For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.

Use Router as DHCP Server

If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box on the LAN Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.

Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

Dynamic DNS

If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However , if your I nternet accoun t uses a dyn amically assig ned IP address, you will not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address, and forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.

The router contains a client that can connect to a Dyn feature, you need to select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have configured your account information in the router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your router will automatically contact your Dynamic DNS service provider, log in to your account, and register your new IP address.

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

 To configure Dynamic DNS:

1. From the main me

to display the Dynamic DNS screen.

2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic

DNS service providers whose names appear in the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account.

Use Static Routes

Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You need to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.

Static Route Example

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

• Y

our primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.

• Y

ou have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where

you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.

• Y

our company’s network is 134.177.0.0.

When you first configured your router was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.

In this case you need to define a static route, te accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.

In this example:

• The Destina

applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.

• The Gateway IP Address f
